#rockbox log for 2008-02-07

00:00:02vorwartslinuxstb: you know what i meant :) i am enough pissed at this stupid gadget to engage into terminology debates
00:00:03rasherI just think it's a useless option that should be on, unless there's some very significant cost
00:00:09pixelmadoes gather runtime data do something as long as you don't even have the database initialised?
00:00:19BigBambivorwarts: No debate - rockbox is in no way built on linux
00:00:22linuxstbvorwarts: No, I honestly don't know what you mean...
00:00:31BigBambiIt is ground up rockbox
00:00:39scorche|wvorwarts: this isnt a terminology debate.....rockbox isnt linux and we dont really make drivers
00:00:54scorche|w(for computers)
00:00:55stripwaxvorwarts - linux is quite a specifically incorrect term to use for rockbox
00:01:05BigBambiDo you think he has got it yet?
00:01:16scorche|wi think 2 more people need to speak up :)
00:01:28Bagderrockbox is not linux
00:01:29Bagder;-)
00:01:31vorwartsyou make it possible for some toshiba gadgets to run off linux
00:01:34Lars_Glinuxstb: I personally think it's more of either "I forgot" or a "Not until we fully QA" problem, but I'm a bystander
00:01:39vorwartsthat's all i know
00:01:44stripwaxvorwarts - we do? that's news to us ...
00:01:50stripwaxgiven that rockbox is not linux
00:02:07pixelmayou mean that they can be used as UMS device?
00:02:15BigBambivorwarts: No rockbox devices run linux, given rockbox is not linux
00:02:21vorwartsso isn't KDE and 2 gazillion other projects
00:02:27stripwaxwhat?

00:02:40Lars_Gvorwarts: I think you're very very confused about rockbox
00:02:40stripwaxwhat is your point
00:02:42Bagdercg: your server seemed to do good!
00:02:43*linuxstb remembers that the Gigabeat F ran Linux, but couldn't be used with desktop Linux..
00:02:50scorche|wvorwarts: they could "run off linux" before...the firmware just didnt read plain mp3s

00:03:08carlosp?
00:03:17BigBambivorwarts: If interested owners port rockbox, sure
00:03:19scorche|wvorwarts: your guess is as good as mine
00:03:21BagderJdGordon's server did less good...
00:03:24Lars_GI wonder if there has been any case of portable linuxes using the code from rockbox as a source to make a linux driver.
00:03:31BigBambivorwarts: There isn't a rockbox 'team' planning ports
00:03:39rasherBagder: I think the server names are messed up?
00:03:51BigBambicarlosp: When it is done
00:03:56scorche|wBagder: is it his OSX box?
00:04:03stripwaxvorwarts - people do their own ports. if someone out there has a U series and wants to run rockbox on it, they'll do the work.
00:04:04Bagderrasher: why? JdGordon's is using a subname in lostlogic's domain
00:04:09linuxstbcarlosp: It's the kind of thing that may happen tomorrow or may not happen for another year - it's impossible to predict when the technical breakthroughs will happen.
00:04:19cgBagder: so it seems. still need to populate ccache cache for all ports
00:04:19Bagderscorche|w: no

00:05:21crzyboysterI was just thinking. It would be useful to create a page on the wiki with converted fonts for rockbox, wouldn't it? Of course, the submitters will ask the font creators for permission before posting them.
00:05:30Lars_Gmarkun: if only DAPs could focus on a single chipset like pdas did onto arm
00:05:31markunvorwarts: I started the Gigabeat F port and it was quite a lot of work. There were many moments where we thought we couldn't do it.
00:05:34Bagderrasher: it did a lot of sh builds, so it's not a surprise it did many

00:06:11Lars_Gmarkun: it'd ease reverse engineering... once the basics are broken there are less stuff to fight in each player
00:06:14gevaertsI think I'll give up for today. I can't get linked transfer descriptors working
00:06:18Bagderpdas didn't "focus on a single chipset"
00:06:19BigBambicrzyboyster: We heard the first time
00:06:23markunLars_G: I think every DAP maker should decide for themselves which they think is the best hardware.
00:06:47linuxstbLars_G: I would say most DAPs are ARM...
00:06:47markunand 'best' can be many things of course.
00:06:52crzyboysterSorry, didn't show up on my IRC windows thing...
00:07:01vorwartsright now i would be happy to run this s*** through virtualbox... but not even this is working
00:07:16scorche|wcrzyboyster: how many times do we have to say to check the logs if you think something didnt go through?

01:00:18linuxstbBagder: Do you remember if there was a reason for putting (for example) #ifdef SIMULATOR inside .c files (around everything), rather than just excluding the .c file in SOURCES?
01:00:57Bagderonly for the rare circumstances where we wanted a file in all situations
01:01:11linuxstbWhen would that be?
01:01:19BagderI can't think of any right now
01:01:38linuxstbThe issue is that the Mac OS X linker (or maybe ranlib) gives warnings about empty .o files.

01:06:53Bagderamiconn: I _think_ so, but I have no means of testing it
01:06:57pixelmasome plugins also have #ifdef HAVE_BITMAP around them which isn't necessary anymore since SOURCES
01:07:27amiconnBagder: Uh? It applies to the sim, so you could certainly test it, I'd think
01:07:46JdGordon|wquickscreen.c is also surounded by #ifdef HAVE_QUICKSCREEN instead of it being in sources

01:18:52linuxstbNico_P: I would say remove that as well...
01:20:20linuxstbNico_P: But it's hard to judge... I think HISTORY would be more suited to things like support of new targets, and very major developments such as the SWCODEC playback engine first playing sound etc.
01:21:22rasherMoB perhaps?
01:21:48linuxstbAnd maybe things happening around the project - such as the introduction of the forums, moving from sourceforge to flyspray.

01:36:13linuxstbThey are then in date order (oldest first).
01:36:33saratogaah I see
01:36:45saratogawell then i guess i'm asking if we can put them in Newest First order
01:37:09linuxstbI wouldn't argue - the first thing I always do is sort them by date.
01:37:39linuxstbOr you could just bookmark http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/index/proj1?type=4&order=dateopened&sort=desc&order2=&sort2=

01:41:26Nico_Phaha :) Now I have no excuse since I've gotten a bit more familiar with latex for school
01:41:42Nico_PAA still isn't mentioned in the manual AFAIK
01:41:47Aloneaso on the sansa 200 series using microsdhc, it has worked so far yes? Do you think higher capacities such as the 16gb and upcoming 32gb will work as well? Whats the highest capacity that has been tested?
01:41:48soapyes, one should not mess around at school without using latex.

01:52:43tessaraktso the up-to-date contents are in the heads of the developers?

01:53:52hypercoolI'm here because i'm having trouble getting my 4G ipod to update its database. it does have harddrive issues, but i know for a fact that it can correctly mount/read/write etc. I'm actually listening to music on it now via the file browser, any ideas why the database is stuck at 0 found?
01:54:00tessarakt"Use the source, Luke"
01:55:56hypercoolis there perhaps a way to make the database on my machine and just copy it to ./rockbox?
01:56:08hypercoolwith the simulator or something perhaps?
01:56:29linuxstbhypercool: Are you using Linux/
01:56:30linuxstb?
01:56:38hypercoolnot at the moment

01:57:01rasherThere used to be a db-creation-tool, but it doesn't compile now
01:57:20hypercoolwell that sucks
01:57:33linuxstbI don't think it ever worked anyway - it was more a proof of concept that compiled but was lacking a working main() function...
01:57:51 Quit linuxstb_ (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
01:58:07linuxstbBut yes, you could probably use the sim if you sym-linked your ipod's disk to the place the sim looks for music.

02:00:20amiconnlinuxstb: The symlink probably won't work, as the path is still different
02:01:14PaulJam_would just copying the contents of the harddrive to the achos dir of the sim work?
02:01:16amiconnThat is, unless you make a symlink *replacing the archos/ sub-dir of the simulator build. That'd require to install the sim's .rockbox folder on the target
02:01:40linuxstbamiconn: Yes, that's what I meant.
02:01:43rasherOr just having the music in a subdir of archos/
02:01:48amiconnHmm, and it also only works if the sim has the same endianess as the target
02:02:02rasheramiconn: I'm pretty sure the db is endian-agnostic
02:02:04linuxstbI'm not sure if that's true - didn't Slasheri add endian-conversion?
02:02:30linuxstb(specifically to support PC-side generation IIRC)
02:02:39amiconnrasher: Yeah, that would work too. I never think of it as I'm not a fried of unnecessary folder levels
02:03:06amiconnFor me, it would work when adding ~10 symlinks
02:03:18rasheramiconn: depends what you mean by unnecessary - I'd like to keep videos and music apart for example
02:03:39rasherAnd text files etc.

02:06:32amiconnYeah, me too, but music is still the main purpose of a dap, and so my music category (coarse genre) folder are at the top level
02:06:56amiconnThat's especially helpful since 'follow playlist' is still broken
02:07:06amiconnfolderS
02:08:30PaulJam_follow playlist is broken?
02:08:42amiconnyes
02:09:02amiconnIt only works when you switch to the browser while playing, but not when the playlist ends

02:13:25linuxstbrasher: Was it you who was investigating the final GPLv2 version of espeak?
02:14:23rasherlinuxstb: It was. But then I ran into a legal conundrum. I was moving modifications back to the last gplv2 version, and I figured those modifications were probably gplv3 as well. So that's probably no good
02:14:47linuxstbModifications made by whom?
02:15:17rasherBut... whoever it was that posted the original patch.
02:15:30rasherBut won't those be a derivative work of the gplv3 code?
02:15:42rasherI probably wouldn't have gotten anywhere anyway
02:16:10linuxstbPossibly, but I'm sure Toni is contactable.
02:17:47rasherI'm afraid I've removed it actually, but really, I hadn't done much useful
02:20:25linuxstbNo problem, I was just playing with the "voice aid" feature on my nokia phone and it made me wonder if there was any progress with espeak...

02:22:11linuxstbIt seems that using the pre-GPLv3 version is the only option - if the author was prepared to revert back to GPLv2 I guess he would have offered by now, and there doesn't seem any desire to make Rockbox GPLv3...
02:22:39rasherIndeed, on all accounts
02:23:47*amiconn would like to see rockbox going gpl v3 asap
02:24:08*linuxstb too
02:25:00rasherI think I've said all I ever need to (and more!), on that subject.
02:25:23linuxstbWas anyone else pro-v3 apart from amiconn and me?
